Join the power movement as a Staff Fuel Cycle & Blanket Test Engineer

The Staff Fuel Cycle & Blanket Test Engineer will be a technical leader in the operation, testing, and maintenance of laboratory systems for fusion fuel cycle and molten salt technology development.

The staff fuel cycle and blanket test engineer will support the Tritium and Blanket program closely on executing its research program with integrated tests, building new capabilities, and leading the integration of highly complex capital plant projects that mature the technology readiness of tritium handling and blanket systems towards our first power plant. The Staff engineer may take on roles such as developing the concept of operations, test scopes, building lab functions, software and alarms, and data acquisition and report generation. Experience working in a high-stakes research or production environment with a collaborative, curious, safety-culture mindset is important to the success of the individual and team. This role will directly contribute to and lead major system test campaigns. As tests will go from start-up and commissioning to routine campaigns, the individual will need to use a continuous improvement mindset to progress work pragmatically and build on learnings.

The role requires someone who can work in a fast-paced and highly integrated test environment, leading the planning, coordination, execution, and report-out of testing. This role will work within the CFS fuel cycle and blanket technology group. Collaboration with leaders across the organization and blanket and tritium subject matter experts is expected in order to develop and refine tests. #LI-Onsite
